What is the seasoning on curly fries?
Curly fries are a popular, spring-shaped form of French fry. They can be bought ready made in frozen packs; alternatively, the seasoning can be made at home.HistoryCurly fries are a variation of French fries, so called because of the discovery of manuscripts written in U.S. President Thomas Jefferson’s handwriting where he describes a recipe for frying thinly cut slices of potato. He supposedly picked up the recipe in Paris; however, another theory is that the recipe was introduced to him by his French chef, Honore Julien.IngredientsThe seasoning for curly fries typically contains paprika, garlic powder, cayenne, onion powder, salt and flour.

A spiral potato cutter is used to cut and mold the potatoes into their curly shape.IdentificationAside from their obvious spiral shape, curly fries have a more orange appearance than normal fries du
